Down the Rabbit Hole
I’ve been using MacLogger DX (MLDX) for several years now, and would like to have it connect with my antenna rotator. It supports several models, and can automatically command a rotator to a bearing based on a ham’s QRZ location. An Arduino can be used to connect MacLogger DX to an inexpensive antenna rotator.
Using several 20-foot 2 by 4’s that were left behind by the construction crew, and adding four 8-foot 4 by 4’s for mounting posts, there was enough lumber to build two 36-foot tilt-up masts. Spaced 150-feet apart, they supported a multi-band Zepp antenna center-fed with open-wire line.
I’ve lived here at Roy Creek Ranch for 22 years, with varying interest in Amateur Radio. Career was a big part of that, with little spare time each weekend before work each Monday morning. Add a 2-3 hour daily commute and ham radio just didn’t fit in.
